GrooveCloud

GrooveCloud: the mobile multi-user beat maker and music sequencer.

Make music with your friends in the Cloud!

GrooveCloud is a collaborative music sequencer for the Android platform that enables its users to make music together, at the same time. For example, imagine yourself arranging a drum pattern while a friend is taking care of the bass section, and while someone else is arranging or mixing the track.

The audio engine offers the following features:

-song arranger with 8 patterns of length (1-2-4-8 measures)

-up to 8 DRUM samplers with ADSR envelope, LP and HP filters.

-up to 8 INSTRUMENT samplers, with ADSR envelope, LP and HP filters, root note and musical mode selection.

-per-note fine tuning of envelope and filter parameters

-mixer section with pan, delay and reverb sends.

-export to OGG

-more then 200 free samples

-settable BPM with swing function

GrooveCloud was designed to respond to a specific need: having a musical sketchpad with a "cloudy" feel. Indeed, it offers a number of social features, like:

-song information is stored in Online Servers and is available almost instantly to all the song participants.

-all the manipulations made by any of the participants are propagated in few seconds to all the other participants

-users can export the song to the Community Services and post a link to the audio render on Social Networks.

-users can review the latest edits.

-users can invite friends to join the song by email.

-songs can be either be public (editable and viewable by anyone) or private (editable and viewable only by the creator or invited users)

The application is going to include much more Social Connectors soon (Facebook is now available, Twitter and SoundCloud will follow).

So far, the application comes with a built-in sampler, but we are planning to add more features in the future, like a synth (or synthesizer), and more effects like compressors, bit-reducer, flanger, etc..

GrooveCloud comes with more then 200 free samples suitable for Dubstep, Techno, Trance, Progressive, Hip-Hop, Drum'n Bass, Rap but also Rock and Pop!
